I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7000, which has an NVIDIA GTX 1050 graphics card. I'm having a login loop like in Ubuntu gets stuck in a login loop, but it only happens when I install the NVIDIA drivers. To install the drivers, I run: 

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

When I remove them with:

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

it starts working again, so I can login.

These solutions did not work for me:

Ubuntu gets stuck in a login loop

Ubuntu 16 Stuck in Login Loop after Installing Nvidia 364 Drivers

Also installing nvidia-prime did not help.

Any help would be appreciated.
